Sudan: reflections, inspirations and aspirations

Post navigation

Recently, I’ve had a few interesting revelations about love in Sudan, Sudanese love, relationship(t?)s and a new-found awareness about what men and women are up to in their 20s and 30s, even 40s. This quest seems to be both slowed down by critiques of the opposite sex (in the form of rants and private discussions) as well as hyped up by our society, mainstream media and of course, our families and lovely habobas (grandmothers). So I’m going on a detox; stopping and reflecting on my past experiences as well as digging deeper into other people’s expectations, challenges, anecdotes and general beliefs when it comes to El Oh Vee Eee in Sudan. Personally, I’d like to go on this detox until my 27th birthday on October 26th. To make this a lot more fun and insightful – I will blog about different perspectives channeling the thoughts of the Sudanese lover. Through this journey of questioning, pondering, challenging and identifying patterns of likes and dislikes, treasured traditions and incredulous behaviors, I hope to learn, to shed light and engage women AND men in dialogue. ***
